really fail to see how this can be legal. Judges stating they sign warrants before even hearing the particulars of a case. You're simplifying the process. The judges will sign the warrants after the suspect refuses the breath test & when the cop explains there is probable cause to believe the suspect was DUI.
Although there's plenty of reasons to be suspicious of cops, I really don't think, in this case, they will go to these lengths for those who have only had a beer or two.
There will be up to 450,000 people in downtown Columbus tonight for fireworks. Beer will be sold & you can bring in coolers. There will be *plenty* of opportunity to get those who are truly DUI without worrying about the marginal cases.

What are the stats on the percentage of drivers stopped for DUI that are actually over the limit? How low can the percentage get before it becomes prima facie evidence that the cop's judgment of "probable cause" is unreliable?

The cops will definitely be all over "The Happy Hunting Grounds" of DUI in Franklin County: The West side, around W.Broad, Georgesville, Norton Rd. and Lincoln Village.
Gee, I can't imagine why... ;-)
